To Have Loved and Lost

nature can sometimes cruelly reflect our pain

The strongest longing;

She controls the viaducts.

Her lover joined eternity

An equinox ago.

 

Watched over by the moon;

She finds comfort

In a strange breeze

Bringing warmth,

         the scent of kisses

         and caresses,

         hands meeting and

         thoughtful glances.

 

A gasp stains the

Purr of steady breathing.

Awake -

The mockingibrd laughs

At her pitiable cry.

Surely I was on a roll at the hookah bar.
